Dare you enter the dome of Noise? You must pass the Nose Test to get in, and then survive the Bass Buzz to get out. The Acousatron is a fully interactive sound installation; a monstrosity of an electro-acoustic noise machine, built from upcycled materials. It’s loud, weird and slightly scary in a good way. Come and make some noise and don’t forget your nose.
Warning: Deviant Audio
Aimed at children age 6+ but all are welcome.
No booking required.
Look out for our Audio Assault Buggy roaming the fields. If you get your 'Nose Tested' stamp at the Buggy, you can jump the queue to get into the dome...

Join us for some digi family fun at Make Stuff’s Family Day. Make Stuff will be taking over Stockport Central Library with a whole heap of activities, experiments, and have-a-go experiences!
Follow the BOOM and come along to feel 1000 watts of bass power though your fingers, watch some dancing alien Oobleck (corn flour), make laser-blaster sounds with a slinky, find out how sound waves work, and discover amazing sounds hidden in everyday objects.
Plus! Play a mechanical violin, connect your friends to an electrical circuit to find out how squeaky their noses are, and make a Robot Chicken or Auto-Strummer using upcycled computer guts.
And! Soldering, making, crafting, coding, and much much more!
Warning! Mild peril and deviant audio!
With over 20 activities to choose from, this promises to be an absolutely fantastic day out.
Who’s it for?
Everyone! Come alone, with a friend, or bring your whole family - we’ll have activities for all ages.
